    All the votes there are for Decepticons, Wheeljack’s an Autobot. I could easily see over the next few weeks us getting another poll of 4 Autobots to choose from too.

    Personally though I think Wheeljack’s more likely to be made anyway now (I could, however, see Tracks being potentially one of the 4 to choose from if there’s a corresponding Autobot vote)

    Victory. ;)

    Could be that they want to go Decepticon-centric with this because they kinda cheated on the last fan poll by giving us 2 Autobots in what was meant to be an Autobot vs Decepticon matchup.

    Likely, and to be fair, they sorta voted for the Mirage VS Impactor primary for non-convention Impactor toy. It is kinda an big deal.

    Yeah, exactly. People voted for Impactor, not Mirage. And it IS hard to blame them for doing so given that the only real options were a wrongly-colored but inspired retool, a fairly decent but not cheap club exclusive, and the MMC figure.

    I will say though re: this fan poll that it feels like we're being a little railroaded here. Hasbro's gotta know people aren't gonna vote for Gnaw/Shrapnel when we got decent figures of them in the last few years, and they'd also know a LOT of people weren't happy Needlenose lost the fan poll.

    That said, a good Runabout/Runamuck toy is a legit contender, I feel, but he lacks the fan passion that Needlenose attracts. I'm honestly torn myself.

    If Needlenose doesn't win, we riot. Though I'd be fine with the Battlechargers winning as well. Where's the "Armageddon" title coming from?

    Needlenose for sure, though original Battlechargers would be nice.

    Yeah, in one hand. The battlechargers have strong redeco potential, But Needlenose is one of the Double Targetmasters, one of the groups people really want to see updated, also being an member of the mayhem attack squad, that factor also helps him out greatly.

    My heart says Skrapnel but considering we don't even know what size class we're voting on yet and there's no guarantee that we'd get the other two insecticons my vote is probably going to either Needlenose because why not or Runabout/Runamuck since that's basically just a palette swap and wouldn't be too out of the question. Part of me hopes that we're potentially voting on a specific Decepticon team like the Quintesson's henchmen, battlechargers, insecticons, or Mayhem Squad but that feels a bit much. Guess we'll find out in a few weeks.

    I would go with needlenose. But I feel the poll will either be before or after SDCC.

    I'd be happy with a new Needlenose I suppose, but this is a really terrible selection

    Battlechargers for sure, it's a BOGO deal.

    Needlenose would be an okay consolation prize, especially if they went with that tetrajet look from the card game art.

    Go with either Runabout/Runamuck or Needlenose, that's all.

    We don't need another Gnaw/Sharkticon and a Shrapnel.

    Also voting for Needlenose. The TFCC figure is alright and fun, but a new figure in the C.O.M.B.A.T. system makes sense and should be better. Hopefully they would make Needlenose a true double targetmaster. Placing both as battlemaster packs would be okay for me. Gnaw and Shrapnel already have great figures in the legends price point and I have no interest in either at this time. Odd choice. Runabout/Runamok have decent figures from TFCC as well. That figure I feel fits them better than Wheeljack even because of the stubbiness.

    Armageddon sounds fun for the next line. If it was Decepticon focused, that would be great.

    Needlenose or runabout/Runamuck obviously since we haven't had figures of them (other than exclusives I guess?)
